The human brain is arranged in areas based on criteria such as cytoarchitecture or extrinsic connectivity. Current hypotheses attribute specialized functions to several areas of this patchwork. Hence, parcellating the cortex into such areas and characterizing their interaction is key to understanding brain function. Diffusion MRI enables the...

Current theories hold that brain function is highly related with long-range physical connections through axonal bundles, namely extrinsic connectivity. However, obtaining a groupwise cortical parcella-tion based on extrinsic connectivity remains challenging. Current par-cellation methods are computationally expensive; need tuning of several...
